Jewel of the Summertime

When I was 18 I didn't know pain when the sun was high Burnt face, shadow's erased and I knew I'd be alright Left that behind me, Somethin' blinded me, You're reminding me, Of a better space and time, miles away The jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summer-time A jewel of the summertime A jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summer-time When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight All that I met were dark silhouettes stumbling in the night Then we collided, And I finally, Got the light on me, Now I'm bathing in the bright ultraviolet rays Jewel of the summertime [Repeat: x3] A jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summer-time Time, time I left that behind me, But somethin' blinded me, You're reminding me, Of a better space and time, miles away Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime A jewel of the summer-time [Repeat: x5] Jewel of the summertime A jewel of the summer-time Jewel of the summertime [Repeat: x3]
